Chess: Let’s think about this:

A medium sized Russian man - with short hair and large brimmed black framed glasses - sits opposite his opponent.

Black and white squares - of equal size - are drawn on a board … “Ivan” a larger gentleman - with long curly silver hair - anticipates the Russians next move.

The Russian moves his knight - two squares forward and one to the left - then with his left hand - the hand with gold rings on every finger - he slams  down upon the clock.

Online the move would be known as……….

“Ivan” studies the move and tries to anticipate his own - next move.

When he was younger and played against his sister - there was no time restriction.

In his head he hears his sister yelling - move your fucking castle.   “Ivan” looks up.

Without hesitation and any regrets - he lashes out and slams his fist into the Russians head.

Online the move would be known as….

“Ivan”moves his castle four squares forward - allowing his next move - to move the castle three spaces to the left. With a gentle hand and an easy movement, “Ivan” adjusts the time clock.

Chess has moved on from drafts - the Russian tells Ivan - as he gently moved his Bishop - in a diagonal direction -  waiting to pounce upon his opponents unsuspecting castle.

Online the move would be known as ……….

The Russian slumped forward - his head hitting the table - disturbing all the chest pieces - off white foam - started oozing out of his mouth - his eyes closed and he ceased breathing.

 Online this move would be known as…

“Ivan” saw the Russians queen was unprotected - he moved his castle - his bishop - his knight and three paws  - straight to the Queen’s throat.

All this was completed with time on the clock.

With a smile on his face - he lashed out with his sword  - removing the Queen’s head

The game was his.

The rest is history… { vissa }
